Kala U-Tar Guitarlele

Ratings

The Kala Utar is Kala's version of the guitarlele (I don't quite know why they felt the need to switch the order round - perhaps they were continuing the trend from the UBass). It is tuned exactly like a guitar capoed at the fifth fret i.e. ADGCEA with no re-entrant strings. So the top four strings are the same a low-G ukulele.

Guitarleles are hard to come by. Yamaha used to have one but they don't seem to be widely available any more. It seems like Kala are the only ones selling guitarleles widely.
